IV. BA. CLxxi. OF THE SUDAN 53

MS. 3 from here onwards reads: " 'Adlan son of 'Arman had 30 sons: they include the Karasika (four), whose mother was daughter of 'AH walad Karkus walad Shukl el Kamal; and the Sitnab (four); [and] the

'Abdutab (four), whose mother was daughter of 'Abud ; and Nafa'a, and Nafi'a, and el Mahk 'Abd el Daim, and 'Abd el Ma'abud, all of them sons of the same mother, namely the daughter of Adam walad Halayb; and Muhammad 'Ali, and Abu Seli'ma and Barakat, all sons of a single mother; and el Malik Muhammad, ancestor of the Muhammad ab, son of a different

mother [fen'd] ; and Tuayr, son of a different mother; and Abu Bukr, son of a different mother; and el 'A wad, son of a different mother; and 'Abd el Rahman Badikis, son of a different mother."

MS. 3 then gives a list of descendants, tribal and personal, of Nafi'a and Nafa'a: this entirely differs from any other version, excepting ABC, and is certainly spurious : the writing is so bad and text so corrupt and so obviously a gloss that this passage is not worth an attempt to quote it in full.

The names of the following descendants of Nafi'a (for which cp. ABC) are decipherable: "Sirayhab," "Miriab," "Shataywab" (ABC, "Sha- tirab"), "Mudwas" (sc. "sons of"; ABC. "Mudawas"), "Mekabda," "Abu el Dur" {sc. "sons of"), "'Abd el Latff" (sc. "sons of"), "Abd el Kafi, ancestor of the Thawabit," " 'Abdulla, ancestor of the folk of Walad Abu Zumam," " Abukr, ancestor of the folk of Walad el Nafar," "Bakhi't Aswad, who was childless." Among the descendants of Nafa'a appear the "Thawawiab" (or " Shawawi'ab " (?) ; ABC, "Thawi'ab"), and the "'Amakrab," and the "Nugumi'a" (for whom cp. A 11). The

"Hasanab" and "Hadrab" of ABC do not appear.

The MS. continues as foil )ws: "El Malik 'Abd el Daim had 14 s->ns, 'Ali and Yoiy and Hammad, all sons of the same mother, viz. Bukra daughter of his uncle Mukabir ; and Abu Daraywa and Abu Basrun and Hammad el Harankal, sons of a single mother; and Kabush; and Muham-

mad el Kankal (ABC, 'el Fial'), ancestor of the Nafafi'a at el Damer; and Shaddu and Kaddu, whose descendants are near Berber; and Dow

and Kena, whose descendants are the Kenawin Nas walad Ba'ashom; and el 'Arashkol and Abu Gidad, who had no children.

The descendants of 'Ali include the 'AliAb. The descendants of Hammad include the 'Alatit [who live] near the Saba'ania, and the people of el Madak (Marak?) at el Metemma.

The descendants of Yoiy are the Yoiyab at Koz Ba'ara (?). Abu Dawayra [for "Daraywa"] was ancestor of the Darwab [for "Daraywab"] near Bakardash (?). Abu Basrun's descendants are com-

mingled with the Zaidab. Hammad el Harankal was ancestor of the Nas walad el Tarik [Terayfi (?)] at Metemma.

The descendants of Kabush live round Kabtishia.

As for [the sons of] 'Abd el Ma'abud, 'Abd el Salam el Asfar was ancestor of the Sufar and Lakit (?) and el Khadr and ["and" omitted by ABC] el Fial, ancestor of the Failab, and Ba'abush, ancestor of the

Ba'abish, and Sa'ad Abu Dabus,
